    On the Way to SAS

    Maybe that explains the delay. We didn't leave STL until around 10:00 p.m. and arrived in LRK around 6:00 a.m.

    Extra cars on the Southwest Chief today

    At the ABQ stop, we already had one private car. Then we took on another. Then I noticed our deadheading dome car at the front of the train.

    The Tradition of Named Cars

    I slept in South Dakota last night. I noticed the faded sign on the door.

    40th Anniversary Train

    It has been a good train day. When we got further south to Taylor, Texas, the Union Pacific 844 was there.

    40th Anniversary Train

    I'm not sure where it is heading next, but it was next to the Heartland Flyer and Texas Eagle in Fort Worth today.

    Concerned about Connection: Southwest Chief to Missouri River Runner

    I booked a trip several months ago: LAX - KCY - STL - LRK. I just noticed looking at the reservation that the layover in KCY is only about 50 minutes. If I miss the Missouri River Runner, the next one would not get me to STL before the Texas Eagle. Any idea what might happen then?

    Don't Wait To Ask, Just Tell

    I would have to disagree. Honestly, it is unnecessary for either of you to know the sexual opinions of the other. As long as that person does his/her job and does not treat you any differently, his/her sexual preferences and opinions should not matter when it comes to train travel. I want the...

    Sleeper Price Question

    We planned to each book separately, unless there is a financial advantage to booking together.

    Sleeper Price Question

    When 2 people are traveling together and plan to share a roomette, does one buy the roomette ticket and the other buy a coach ticket? That's how I assume it works.

    Sleeper Price Question

    For any who have noticed this practice, have you noticed the prices decrease back to low bucket at any point?

    Sleeper Price Question

    I sure hope so. 55 hours is a long time for coach. I could kick myself for not booking it this afternoon.

    Sleeper Price Question

    Just tried this and the lowest roomette price within 15 days on either side of my travel date is now $390. Is it possible that they just raised the low bucket rate altogether? *** Nevermind. I just found a $237 in September.

    Sleeper Price Question

    Little Rock to Los Angeles on the 421 Texas Eagle. The roomette price has been $237 for the last 2 weeks (including this afternoon). I finally decided to buy the ticket tonight, and it had jumped to $390. Pretty frustrating.

    Sleeper Price Question

    I was looking at a trip earlier today and the Roomette price was $237. I checked again tonight and it's $390. Does that mean it has switched to a higher bucket? Is there any chance of seeing the $237 again? Sorry if these are dumb questions; I'm new at this.

    Checked Baggage Question

    I've been lurking for about a week and planning my first long distance trip. I'm loving all the info I've found so far. I have a question about my trip. I live between 2 stations. The one east of me does not offer checked baggage service, but the one west of me does. My preference is to use...
